NEWPORT — Campbell Coun-ty intends to finish a new 108-bed jail wing with a substanceabuse program focused on her-oin users by the end of 2016.

Fiscal Court unanimouslyauthorized borrowing $2.5million in April 2014 to convertDistrict Court offices at 600 Co-lumbia St., Newport, into a jail.

The addition will bring thenumber of beds at the CampbellCounty Detention Center to 656when counting the new bedsand the 123-bed Restricted Cus-tody Center in Newport mini-mum security inmates.

There will also be 24 new iso-lation cells built onto the back ofthe District Court building as anaddition, said Matt Elberfeld,who will take over as county ad-ministrator March 1. Elberfeldhas been promoted from direc-tor of finance.

The county plans to ask forconstruction bids for the pro-

ject this spring, Elberfeld said.Construction will last about a

year once it starts, he said.“Hopefully, it will be done at

the end of 2016,” Elberfeld said.Jailer James A. Daley said at

least 30 of the new beds will beused to house inmates in a sub-stance abuse program.

Opportunities for a sub-stance abuse program to even-tually use up to all 108 new bedswill be tied to available fundingfrom Fiscal Court and demand,Daley said.

There were 1,050 inmateswho entered the jail as heroinusers or on heroin-relatedcharges in 2014, Daley said.

The additional beds are alsoneeded to be under suggestedcapacity, although more in-mates can be comfortablyhoused, he said. The jail was de-signed for 425 medium andmaximum security inmates.And jail population increased tojust over 500 inmates a couple

CAMP SPRINGS — Police ar-rested three men on burglarycharges Feb. 11 after stoppingtheir van and finding guns andother items reported takenfrom a southern CampbellCounty home minutes earlier.

A phone tip at 10:44 a.m.Feb. 11 from an alert neighborcued police into a burglary as itwas happening on Kohls Roadnear Fender Road in CampSprings, said Campbell CountyPolice Department Lt. DennyLehmkuhl.

After noticing an unfamil-iar van at a neighboring house,the tipster said he saw men car-rying bulky bags out of thehouse and then driving awaytoward Ten Mile Road, Lehm-

kuhl said.It was on Ten Mile Road po-

lice caught up with the allegedburglars, he said.

Joseph Wayne Hardy, 33, ofErlanger, was arrested oncharges of first-degree bur-glary, possession of burglarytools, second-degree posses-sion of a controlled substance -

drug unspecified, possessionof a firearm by a convicted fel-on and for violating probation.

Roy Edward Tucker, 39, ofNewport, and Lonnie Conyers,30, of Bellevue, were bothcharged with first-degree bur-glary, possession of burglarytools and possession of a fire-arm by a convicted felon. Allthree men remain in custody atthe Campbell County Deten-tion Center in Newport.

It’s believed Hardy, Tuckerand Conyers might be respon-sible for other burglariesaround the Tristate area andother local burglaries in Camp-bell County, Lehmkuhl said.

Credit needs to go to a goodneighbor for calling police andproviding good informationpolice were able to use, he said.

“We haven’t been un-der our suggested capac-ity for well over a year,”he said.

Campbell County waswaiting on all offices tomove out of the DistrictCourt space before workcould begin to turn thespace into a jail, saidCampbell County Admin-istrator Robert Horine.

Horine will retire March1.

The Kentucky Admin-istrative Office of theCourts had agreed tomove out of the DistrictCourt space after the newjudicial center at 330York St., Newport, wasopened in June 2012.Most AOC offices hadmoved out by July 2014,Horine said. Common-wealth Attorney Mi-chelle Snodgrass’ officewas the last to move outin late December of 2014,he said.

The AOC moved some

offices to the new judi-cial center. Probation andparole and the Common-wealth’s Attorney officeboth moved to WaterTower Square at 601Washington St., Newport.

Fiscal Court amendeda contract this Januaryafter the District Courtbuilding was vacant witharchitectural and engi-neering firm Brandstet-ter Carroll Inc. The firmis working with the coun-ty to design the new jailspace. The contract, for$28,750, was entered intoin 2012.

There was a benefit ofhaving tenants in the Dis-trict Court building be-cause the county waspaid for the building’suse, Elberfeld said.

“We’ve always ownedthe building, they werealways just renting itfrom us,” Elberfeld said.

FORT THOMAS — Thecity’s next proposal forsaving 10 U.S. Army offi-cer homes on the NationalRegister of HistoricPlaces will be to pick a sin-gle developer to workwith.

Since no bids to pay forrenovating the propertieswere received in January,the city is free to pick a de-veloper to turn the housesinto private residences,said Don Martin, city ad-ministrator.

Martin said he will pre-sent a plan Feb. 17 forcouncil to consider how toproceed. Any plan the citycomes up with will have tobe approved as well by theU.S. Department of Veter-ans Affairs, which ownsthe homes. The city and

VA have a deal in place totransfer ownership of thehomes upon agreeing on adevelopment and restora-tion plan, Martin said.

Fort Thomas has beenspeaking with developerssince receiving no con-struction bids Jan. 19 tofind out what can be doneto work on financial obsta-cles and entice a companyto take on the project.

“The city does want tosee these houses re-stored,” Martin said. “ Imean, they’re an impor-tant historic componentof our city and we wouldlike them to remain,” Mar-tin said.

Some of the financialbarrier was lessenedsince 2011 when the citytried unsuccessfully toget developers to bid onbuying and restoring thehomes, Martin said.

As the valuation of thehomes fell from $2.4 mil-lion in 2011to $510,000 thisyear, the city’s minimumasking price was droppedfrom $1.5 million to$900,000, he said.

And of the $900,000minimum bid price, theVA will refund all$510,000 if remediation ofasbestos and lead paint

exceed the assessed val-ue, Martin said. Abate-ment costs have been esti-mated by an environmen-tal engineer at $1 million,he said.

The city has beenworking with the federalgovernment for 11 yearsto come up with a solutionfor the homes, Martinsaid.

“If somebody were tobuy these for $900,000 thecity would break even,”

he said.Besides restoring the

brick homes, built in the1890s, all new sewer, gasand electric lines have tobe rebuilt to each house.All utilities are each on asingle loop, with one me-ter for all properties, hesaid. Sanitation DistrictNo. 1 of Northern Ken-tucky took the houses offthe sewer system in 2002over leaking and under-sized pipes.

“They’re not allowed togo back on that systemthat was there,” Martinsaid. “It needs to be re-built.”

An enticement for a de-veloper is the chance toalso build one and possi-bly two new houses on lotsinside Alexander Circle,he said.

Any new houses builtwill have to be approvedby the city’s design re-view board and meet the

U.S. Secretary of the Inte-rior’s standards. Newhouses would have tocomplement the historichomes without having tobe exact replicas, Martinsaid.

“The enforcing agentfor that ultimately will bethe Kentucky HeritageCouncil,” he said.

When the homes onGreene and Pearsonstreets were sold to devel-opers in the 1980s at thefront of Tower Park, asbe-stos remediation was notpart of the process, Mar-tin said. This time, the cityis required to remove theasbestos and lead paint,Martin said.

Mayor Eric Haas saidMartin has been meetingwith developers who ex-pressed an interest to findout what they think theproblems are.

“We were trying to do itthe simplest way possible,that kept the city out of itas much as possible,”Haas said.

Other ideas for the pro-ject, including creating aTIF (tax increment fi-nancing) district to help adeveloper finance roadand utility repairs arebe-ing considered, he said.

CRESTVIEW HILLS — It’spossible for students toearn a bachelor’s degreeat Thomas More Collegeand an associate degreeGateway Community &Technical College at thesame time now.

Presidents of the twoNorthern Kentucky col-leges signed an agree-ment Jan. 29 allowing stu-dents to transfer creditsfrom Gateway to ThomasMore.

Thomas More is a pri-vate Catholic liberal artscollege in Crestview Hills.

Gateway has campuses inBoone County and Coving-ton.

“Students will be en-rolling at both institutionsat the same time,” saidThomas More PresidentDavid A. Armstrong.

Students may choose toenter Gateway to start ei-ther because of the costdifference or becausethey may not be ready forThomas More academi-cally, Armstrong said.

Gateway’s president C.Edward Hughes said hestarted talks on a partner-ship prior to Thomas Mo-re’s last president SisterMargaret Stallmeyer‘s re-

tirement in June 2013.“Community colleges

are the ultimate access in-stitutions to higher educa-tion,” Hughes said.

Gateway students canspend two years at Gate-way and then two at Thom-as More or spend only thefirst year at ThomasMore, said Mike Rosen-berg, director of transferfor Thomas More.

Programs offered willinclude accountancy, busi-ness, computer informa-tion systems, criminal jus-tice, education and RN-to-BSN, according to a newsrelease from ThomasMore.

Parents visit St. Thomas

THANKS TO ANDY HEMMER

Parents joined students for lunch Jan. 28 at St. Thomas in Fort Thomas forCatholic Schools Week. Besides touring classrooms, the parents enjoyedvolleyball and games. Back row: Margo Hemmer. Front row: MeredithFennell, Kyle DeMann, Bradley Scharstein, Tayden Lorenzen, Henry Brooksand Jason Frisk. Their kindergarten teacher is Mary Laber. Her teachingassistant is Charlotte Walsh.

On Jan. 22 KentuckyState Sen. Wil Schroderwas on campus at Wood-

fill Elementary School to talkto fourth-grade students aboutstate and national govern-ment. This was the senator’sfirst classroom visit since tak-ing office Jan. 1.

The students are studyingstate government and will bevisiting the state capital inFebruary. Schroder and Rep.Joe Fischer will meet with theclass during their visit toFrankfort.

“Senator Schroder did anexcellent job talking to thestudents about his role as astate legislator and presentingfacts about our state govern-ment. It was my goal for thestudents to hear firsthandabout the knowledge, negotia-tion, and responsibility need-ed for the job,” said Tina Rey-nolds, fourth-grade teacher atWoodfill Elementary.

“The enthusiasm he hadwhen talking about the legisla-tive process and the role hehas in it made the process sim-ple to understand for my stu-dents. As his first class to pre-sent to as our newly electedsenator, the students and I feltvery fortunate to have himvisit Woodfill.”

Students in Reynolds’ classmade the following com-ments,

» “I can’t believe a real sen-ator came to my class,” saidVladimir Hoyle. “I liked howhe talked about the capitol

building and what offices areon the floors. I can’t wait to gothere.”

» “I think it was interestingthat he came to talk to us be-cause I don’t know much aboutgovernment. I liked how hetold us about all the rooms inthe capitol,” said Patrick Par-son.

» Maggie Ossege added, “Iliked how he showed us a slideshow and showed us the dis-tricts in the state. We are inDistrict 24. He showed us pic-tures of how he gives speechesand told us to be confident andcare when we give our speech-es. He introduced his wife,too.”

Sen. Wil Schroder talks to fourth-grade students at Woodfill ElementarySchool.

A group of Northern Ken-tucky University stu-dents are headed to our

nation’s capital for a national en-vironmental technology compe-tition this spring. They are devel-oping a mobile app designed toreduce the carbon footprint ofthe university’s more than 15,000students.

The students, from severaldisciplines, will participate inthe final phase of the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency’sPeople, Prosperity, and Planet(P3) competition, where theywill unveil the app prototype inApril. This follows the initialround of the competition, afterwhich the EPA awarded thegroup a $15,000 grant to developthe app.

In future phases of their pro-ject, students plan to create anapp allowing drivers to monitortheir pollution contribution andproviding information on howpollution-saving decisions con-tribute to clean air.

Dr. Christine Curran, NKUassociate professor of biologicalsciences, said she is impressedwith how students worked to-gether to accomplish a complexgoal.

“With NKU’s focus on trans-disciplinary education, this pro-ject brings several disciplines to

the table,” said Dr. Curran. “Anenvironmental scientist can tellyou how much pollution is outthere, and what effect the pollu-tion will have. The key is how wecommunicate to people to get outof their cars – use public transitand … walk around the corner in-stead of driving.”

Dr. Curran also pointed outthe potential financial benefitsof the research, both for NKUand companies looking to cutback spending without slashingbudgets. “It costs roughly$22,000 for one parking spot inone parking garage,” she ex-plained. “In turn, there is a greatbenefit in keeping cars off cam-pus.”

Dr. Zachary Hart, chair of theNKU Department of Communi-cation, has several students inthe department taking on themessaging strategy. The re-search students have done tomeasure and change pollutionoutput can only be successfulwith a strong message, he said.

“This project has been verymotivating,” Dr. Hart said. “It’sbeen so amazing to see studentsfrom multiple disciplines cometogether for a common theme.They can see that there are dif-ferent components, and it is avery real-world experience forthem. This is how projects oper-

ate, it takes many people to suc-ceed.”

Dr. Hart explained that theapp will show people how muchthey are saving by using publictransportation or carpooling ver-sus driving a car. It will be in agame format to maintain user in-terest and will show users howeach choice will immediately im-pact them, and the long-term ef-fect individual choices have onthe environment.

“Communication studentshave done a lot of research ofother schools and universities,on how they have promoted this

type of effort,” said Dr. Hart. “Atthe phase two competition inApril, students will bring a proto-type of the app, and if we win, wewill hopefully be able to take thatdesign to application and actual-ly implement the app.”

Dr. Hart emphasized the im-portance of students being ableto apply what they are learningto real-world scenarios.

“Almost all things have acommunicative aspect to them,”he said. “There is always a targetaudience and a process of figur-ing out the most effective way toreach that audience. With the

app’s development, students areevaluating what motivates peo-ple to carpool, and that person’sinterest in it, which is usuallymoney or time savings.”

Morgan Lyons, an environ-mental science major at NKU,has been researching health-re-lated issues that come from airpollution and the economic bene-fits of drive-share programs.Her role is to help communicatethe importance of maintaining aclean environment.

“I have always had an interestin geology, since I was a littlegirl,” Lyons said. “I just want toprotect the Earth and animals. Itis so important to inform peopleabout the benefits of keepingthis planet clean. Just becauseyou can’t see pollutants doesn’tmean they are not there.”

Although the project isbasedat NKU, the eventual the goal isto provide a template to majorcompanies looking to cut theirown carbon footprints.

“We are not trying to accom-plish a theoretical project,” saidDr. Curran. “We want to influ-ence what happens at our univer-sity and in the Greater Cincin-nati area. In the end, we will havesafer and less congested high-ways, a cleaner environment tolive in, and people who exerciseand are all-around healthier.”

Have you everdone this: you buymore meat than youcan use because it’son sale. Sometimesyou remember tofreeze it, sometimesyou don’t.

If that soundslike you, we’re onthe same wave-length.

Last week I bought morechicken breasts than we neededfor dinner. I made chicken noo-dle soup out of some of them andintended to freeze the rest. Be-cause they were hidden out ofsight in the meat bin, I forgotabout them.

When they surfaced severaldays later, the chicken was stillgood enough to eat, but it neededto be cooked right away.

I had a meeting that eveningand couldn’t fuss with a recipethat took too much time or wascomplicated. This no fuss, quickrecipe was just right.

Really good tasting, too.

Use that extra frozen chicken,cleanse with kale salad

Moist and marvelous Parmesan chickenbreasts

1/2 cup real mayonnaise1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheeseFew grindings black pepper2 large or 4 smaller skinless, boneless breasts1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs - see Rita’s tip

Preheat oven to 425. Blend mayo and cheese. Put chickenon sprayed cookie sheet. Smear topping on. Sprinkle withcrumbs. Bake 20 minutes or until juices run clear in centerwhen poked with a knife, about 160 internal temperature.Residual heat will continue to cook the chicken even after it’sout of the oven, raising temperature 5 degrees or so. Don’tover bake or chicken will be dry.

Tip: homemade Italian bread crumbs. I had plain crumbsso I stirred in a couple shakes of Italian seasoning.

Annie’s Kale Salad - a cleansing saladMy niece, Annie, brought this salad to our house as a side

dish for dinner. Annie used regular curly kale. We grow Lac-inato/Tuscan kale, which, to my taste, is milder in flavor. Allkales are nutritious with anti-cancer properties: a cup providesmore than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamins K and A,and over 80 percent of vitamin C.

Salad:

1 bunch kale torn into small pieces1-2 tablespoon olive oil1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced1/4 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted, or bit more

Dressing:Go to taste on this, adding more of any ingredient if you

want.

1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice - see Rita's tip2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar1 teaspoon Dijon mustard2 teaspoons honey1/4 cup olive oilFreshly ground pepper and salt

Whisk together ginger juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijonand honey. Whisk in oil and season to taste. Set aside.

Meanwhile, place kale in bowl and season with salt, pep-per and olive oil. Massage well with hands - this breaks downcellular structure, making it tenderer.

Add in apple, berries and nuts. Toss with dressing to coat.You can make this hours ahead.

Toasting pine nuts: Best done in dry non-stick skillet overlow heat until golden.

Making ginger juice: Grate ginger and squeeze out juice.Or place pieces in garlic press and squeeze out juice. This is the“hardest” part of the recipe since it takes some time. I like tofreeze my ginger root, grate it frozen, and proceed.

Tip: Ginger paste option. Try using a teaspoon or more ofginger paste. Easier by far and a good keeper in the frig.

A publication of

3,550.That’s how many of our

fellow Kentuckians will diefrom lung cancer this year,according to projections fromthe American Cancer Society.Nearly 8,000 Kentuckians dieeach year because of tobacco-related disease.

Kentucky’s House of Repre-sentatives took a stance lastweek to help reduce this num-ber by passing legislation thatsupports smoke-free work-places here in the common-wealth.

Smoking, or exposure tosecondhand smoke, is the No. 1cause of lung cancer, and Ken-tucky has one of the highestadult smoking rates in the coun-try. Kentucky continues to leadthe nation in lung cancerdeaths.

There is no safe level ofexposure to secondhand smoke.In addition to causing lungcancer, secondhand smoke is aknown cause of heart diseaseand stroke in adults, and theharmful chemicals found insecondhand smoke are knowncauses of SIDS, respiratory

infections, earinfections andasthma attacksin our children.

The Centersfor DiseaseControl and

Prevention(CDC) recentlyreported on thecontinued dan-ger of sec-ondhandsmoke expo-

sure. The CDC found that one infour nonsmoking adults and twoin five children are exposed tosecondhand smoke in the U.S.Smoke-free policies are one ofthe best ways to reduce expo-sure to secondhand smoke.

When asked, a majority ofvoters in Northern Kentuckyand across the state say theysupport smoke-free laws. Theyrecognize the importance ofsuch a measure and what it willdo for the health and well beingof our neighbors and lovedones. It further benefits thestate economically by reducinglost productivity and healthcare costs, many of which are

borne by taxpayers. Studiesfrom the Northern KentuckyHealth Department showed nodifference in support forsmoke-free laws along partylines. More than 500 organiza-tions and businesses supportKentucky smoke-free laws,including locally St. ElizabethHealthcare and the NorthernKentucky Medical Society.

Now is the time to do morethan just agree; now is the timeto act. The Kentucky Senate hasan opportunity to join with theHouse of Representatives topass a smoke-free law. Theyhave the chance to save lives byprotecting Kentuckians fromthe dangers of secondhandsmoke. This isn’t a liberal issueor a conservative issue – this isa Kentucky issue: a smoke-freelaw is good for the health andeconomy of the commonwealth.Please contact your legislatorsnow in support of the smoke-free law.

Smoke-free law

Dr. Mark A.BoydCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

It’s time for Senate to protect Kentuckians

Throughout my 32-yearcareer in business, both inoffices in Cincinnati and as alobbyist in Frankfort, I did notsmoke – but those around medid. During the 1970s and1980s, I spent all day, everyday in small offices in Cincin-nati filled with cigarettesmoke.

In the 1990s and early 2000s,I worked in the KentuckyStatehouse, which was alsofilled with secondhand smoke.

At the time, I didn’t thinkanything of it. Smoking atwork was commonplace. Thesecondhand smoke that I wasexposed to didn’t bother me. Itwas just part of doing busi-ness.

What I would later learn isthat my exposure to second-hand smoke was dangerous tomy health. Working in a smokyplace for six to eight hours isthe equivalent of smokingnearly a pack of cigarettes.

In 2003, I was getting readyto play in a Cincinnati Redsfantasy camp reunion when Icame down with pneumonia.An X-ray found a spot on oneof my lungs, and after a seriesof PET scans and CAT scans, Iwas diagnosed with lung can-cer.

Early in 2004, I had surgeryto remove 20 percent of mylung, and endured chemothera-

py from Marchthrough Juneof that year. Ilost my hairthat year aswell.

I was fortu-nate enough tobe declaredcancer-freelate in 2004.

However, Istill must en-dure annual

chest X-rays – and the worriedwait for results – to make surethat cancer hasn’t returned. Iused to love to run, but with 20percent of my lung removed, Ican no longer do so. I get out ofbreath going up steps.

My cancer diagnosis hasbeen a source of incrediblephysical and emotional hard-ship for my family. I tell peo-ple that I am a member of aclub and that the initiation isthe doctor telling you that youhave cancer.

I don’t want any more mem-bers in my club.

Yet, thousands of Kentuck-ians will join the lung cancerclub and, if they are fortunateto live, will still endure thesame hardships that I have.The American Cancer Societyprojects that 4,680 new casesof lung cancer will be diag-nosed in Kentucky in 2015, and

3,550 residents of our state willdie from it.

While I am now a lung can-cer survivor for more than 10years, most are not. Of thepeople who are diagnosed withlung cancer early, when thecancer has not spread outsidethe lung, only about half arealive five years post-diagnosis.

Offices like the ones Iworked at in Cincinnati andFrankfort are now smoke-free,but not all workplaces in Ken-tucky are. Employees in manybars, restaurants and otherbusinesses are still exposed tosecondhand smoke, as I was.

A smoke-free law can pro-tect all Kentucky workersfrom exposure to secondhandsmoke at work. It can alsoimprove our health, reducingrates of lung cancer, heartdisease and asthma.

If you think like me andwant to protect Kentuckiansfrom secondhand smoke expo-sure, please call the KentuckyLegislative call center – 800-372-7181. Tell your state repre-sentative and state senator thatyou support House Bill 145,“Smoke Free Kentucky,” andhope that they vote “yes” toeliminate smoking indoors inbusinesses, restaurants andbars.

Feb. 12 question:Should parents have the

right to decide whether to havetheir school-age children vacci-nated, and if they decide not to,should the children be permit-ted to attend school? Why orwhy not?

“I feel that if the child thatis not vaccinated could poten-tially make other studentssick, then they need to behomeschooled.”

Angel Moore

“I think it’s ridiculous thatsome people this it’s OK not tovaccinate ... It’s not just theirchild they are affecting ...They are putting everyone indanger.”

Shannon Kessel

“It would be a humanrights violation per the UnitedNations Universal Declarationof Human Rights, for parentsto be denied the right to havetheir non-vaccinated childrenin school. ‘Don’t Discriminate,’‘The Right to Life’ and ‘TheRight to Seek a Safe Place toLive’ are human rights, rightsimportant to those of us whohave decided against vaccina-tions, for a multitude of rea-sons. It is scientifically andstatistically proven that chil-dren are much more at risk,healthwise, from parents whodon’t understand the impor-tance of excellent nutrition,clean water, keeping theirchildren home when sick,washing hands and attendingto their child’s emotional andphysical distress with time,patience, and love and car-ing.”

Melissa Brown, Fort Thomas

“The parent should choosethe pace at which vaccinationsare given, by the time thechild enters school theyshould be up to date. Illnessspreads like wildfire inschools so it’s reasonable tohave rules to help protecteveryone.”

Lindsay Harkins

“Some vaccines (like mea-sles) cannot be given until achild is a certain age. So untilthey reach that age theywould be considered endan-gered of contracting it from anon-vaccinated child.”

Becky Robinson

“A non-vaccinated childcould get other people whoaren’t able to get the vaccinesick. Such as those with acompromised immune sys-tem, infants too young to re-ceive the vaccine, and theelderly. Herd immunity isimportant for that reason

alone. If the majority of thehuman race who can getvaccinated do so, those whoare unable have a lot less ofa chance of getting sick.

“And, just because youget the vaccine doesn’tmean you can’t still contractthe illness or disease, thisjust lowers the chance dra-matically.”

Bridget Haggard

“Why can they keeppeanut butter out of schoolbecause of the risks butallow non-vaccinated chil-dren? Isn’t the risk to myvaccinated child equally asimportant as the risk to theallergic child?”

Michelle Roeller Armstrong

“Your freedom to take arisk with your child’s healthends when that child getsnear anyone else whodoesn’t.”

Elsa Hale

“Everyone has the rightto choose ... however youneed to make sure you thinkyour choice through to theend possible consequences... too many make the choicenot to vaccinate and thenare outraged when theirchild gets the disease orsomeone else won’t let theirchild around that child infear for their child’s safety... remember this choiceaffects not only your childbut any child they come incontact with.”

Shellie Eggebeen

“I would rather keep mychild at home knowing he issafe and around a vaccinat-ed family than send him toschool with 50 unvaccinatedkids. I’m sure there are afew in every school, butbeing unvaccinated is start-ing to become a pandemicon its own.”

LEXINGTON — Wayne Herin-ger didn’t get the storybook statetitle in his last turn as head coachof the Campbell County boysbowling team. However, he wasproud of the effort his Camelshad Feb. 13 during the KHSAAteam tournament at Collins East-land Lanes.

The Camels lost in the firstround of the 16-team tournamentto local rival Boone County, 3-1(192-220, 214-213, 215-184, 191-161). The Camels had been thefourth seed in qualifying, aver-aging 211 in their individualgames. The match-play was inthe Baker format, with fiveteammates alternating frameswithin each game.

“We bowled well in the qual-ifying game,” said Heringer,who is retiring after this schoolyear. “We won that first Bakergame and then Boone County gotus by one in the second game andthat took a little bit of starch outof the boys. They knew they hadto make some lane adjustments

the next two games. We didn’t doit and Boone did and they de-served to win.”

The five starters in matchplay were Austin Hitt, J.C.Racke, Tyler Probst, Tyler Wid-meyer and Jake Barton. Herin-ger singled out the senior Probst.

“He had great Baker games,”he said. “He threw strikes in ev-ery frame but one. I’m proud ofhim because he’s a senior and it’sgood for him to go out feeling

pretty good about himself al-though I know they’re all disap-pointed because they expectedto advance further.”

The Camels had many play-ers who had not competed atstate before as they qualified forthe fourth straight year.

“I’m proud of our kids,” He-ringer said. “We weren’t expect-ed to make it this year. We camein second in the region. It’s ourfourth straight year down hereand I’m really proud of them.They gave it a good effort.”

In the singles competitionFeb. 12, the Camels took home amedal from Austin Hitt, the Re-gion 5 singles champion. Hittshot 1,080 (216 average) includ-ing a 257 and 278, which was thesecond-highest game in the field

Elizabeth Masminster of Day-ton, the Region 5 singles champi-on, finished sixth in the state, andMirena Combs of Newport waseighth to also win a medal. New-port teammate Katlyn Hoeh fin-ished 13th in singles with 554.

Austin Hitt of Campbell Countysticks his tongue out as he throwsthe ball.

The Campbell County Cam-els held off a resurgent formerchampion to repeat Feb. 14 dur-ing the Region 6 wrestlingchampionships at Cooper.

Campbell County earned itsfifth consecutive regional title,holding off the Ryle Raiders,who had a long regional champi-onship run before the Camelslaunched their current streak in2011.

Campbell County crownedfour weight-division champi-ons, including Tanner Yenter at106 pounds, Bryan Spahr at 138,Elisiah Matthews at 182 and theincomparable Austin Myers at220. Matthews and Myers arerepeat winners.

The Camels totaled 228points, edging runner-up Ryle’s204.5 points.

“We knew it was going to beclose with Ryle,” Camels coachMike Bankemper said. “And wewere concerned about Cooper,too.”

Myers won his fourthstraight 220-pound regionalchampionship while remainingundefeated in his four-year ca-reer with a 174-0 record. He de-feated Boone County’s AhmadHameidan via technical fall,

22-6, falling short of his ultimategoal – a fall in every match.

Failure to pin the stubbornHameidan was one of the fewdisappointments for Myers dur-ing the two-day tournament.The three-time defending 220-pound state champion pushedhis season record to 51-0. He willgo for four titles in a row at thestate meet, Feb. 20-21 at AlltechArena at Lexington’s KentuckyHorse Park.

“This is expected. I’m justtrying to do the same thing at ev-ery meet, pin everybody,” My-

ers said. “I had two pins in threematches.”

Yenter rolled to the win at 106with two falls and a 13-4 win inthe finals. He is 44-9 for the sea-son.

Spahr won the title at 138 andis 34-7 overall. He won with twopins and a 12-0 decision beforeedging Derek Wiley of Conner3-1 in the championship match.

Matthews won the title at 182and is 33-6 overall. He edged Si-mon Kenton’s Casey Cornett 7-6in the final.

The Camels will send 10

wrestlers to the state meet.Finishing as regional runner-

up were Brady Wells at 113(36-5) and Brad Krebs at 126 (38-10),

Dakota Lillie was third at 120(32-13) and Brett Graziani wasthird at 195 (37-13). Jordan Ma-son was also third, placing at 285and is 9-5 entering the statemeet.

Jarrod Stadtmiller finishedfourth at 160 and is 6-11. BryanHolden (39-14) is a state alter-nate after finishing fifth at 132.

Newport had one of its best

days by sending six wrestlers tostate.

David Lynam finished run-ner-up at 160, losing to Ryle’sJohnny Meiman in the final. Heis 31-21for the season. Deric Ap-plegate finished second at 285and is 37-10 for the year.

Gage Jones placed third at182 and is 44-7. Josh Mullins wasthird at 220 and is 36-15 for theyear.

Lonnie Usleaman finishedfourth at 113 and is 40-13 for theseason. Andre Anderson wasfourth at 195 and is 26-12.


Dakota Lillie of Campbell County, top, wrestles Chris Vaske of Boone County in the 3rd-place match at 120. Both qualified for state.

play for each other.”It also gave their

coach an opportunity toappreciate the seniorswithout having to saygoodbye just yet.

“Just the people andyoung ladies they are, Icouldn’t be more proudof them,” Hans said be-fore the game. “Espe-cially this year, with theway they’ve adapted totheir new leadershiproles.”

The rest of the teamhas followed the exam-ple of growth and matu-rity set by Krusling andWainscott.

As the players haveadjusted to differentroles, they have built upa trust and those rela-tionships off the courthave helped strengthentheir play on the court.

“The fun part hasbeen watching themcome together and groweach day,” said Hans.“Everybody haschanged, and it’s allbeen for the better.”

There were bumps inthe road, but behind

Thomas More Col-lege’s women’s basket-ball team found itself infamiliar territory head-ing into the final homegame of the regular sea-son. For the second yearin a row, the Saints as-cended to the No. 1rank-ing in Division IIIhoops. This time, theyhope to stay there untilthey raise a champion-ship trophy on March 21in Grand Rapids, Mich.

“It’s great recogni-tion for our players andprogram. It’s fun for ourfans and supporters,”said head coach JeffHans before the game.“It’s exciting, but wewant to be there at theend of the year.”

The Saints arewinsaway from their secondstraight undefeatedregular season, andthird in the past fiveyears. At their homegame Feb. 14, they cele-brated their two sen-iors, Stephanie Krusling(McNicholas) and SydniWainscott (Simon Ken-ton), with a 91-70 winover Washington andJefferson. Krusling hasbeen at Thomas Morefor all four of Hans’sseasons, while Wain-scott transferred in ayear later after a seasonat Pikeville.

Senior Day gives thewomen a chance to re-flect.

“On Saturday, I’ll becelebrating the pastfour years,” Kruslingsaid before the game.“It means a lot thatwe’ve come this far. We

these two seniors, theSaints have come to-gether and are gettingstronger each time out.They have dominatedPresidents’ AthleticConference play, win-ning their 15 conferencegames by an average of39.2 points per game.The Saints lead all of Di-vision III with an over-all average margin ofvictory of 36.9 pointsper game, over 11 pointsbetter than second placeCalvin.

“At first it was astruggle,” said Wain-scott. “It seems like itscoming together at theright time. We have thatwant to play hard foreach other.”

As the wins havepiled up - Thomas Moreis 106-8 over the pastfour seasons - thecrowds have grown.Home games at the Con-nor Convocation Centerconsistently bring outlarger than average Di-vision III women’s bas-ketball crowds for eachSaints contest.

“Our crowd preparesus for big games downthe road in that kind ofatmosphere,” said Wain-scott.

The crowd cheeredextra loud for Kruslingand Wainscott Feb. 14,but it won’t be the lasttime they roar for thesenior Saints.

Seeded first in theNCAA’s latest regionalrankings, Thomas Moreis hoping to earn a topseed and benefit fromtheir home court advan-tage throughout thepostseason.

Like many people,older adults develop com-fortable routines. Suchroutines may includeeating, taking medica-tions, visiting with friendsand family or attendingsocial functions.

When these routinesare altered when individ-uals move to a senior careor retirement facilitysome may have troubleadjusting to the new envi-ronment.

While minor changesin a routine can be emo-tionally and physicallyupsetting, a major moveanother location can oftenbe the final straw for aperson’s well-being.

To help reduce thestress associated withmoving to a new home,consider the following.

Begin the conversa-tions about the possibil-ities of moving well inadvance of the need. Asthe older person, thinkabout where you mightwant to live and whatfeatures or amenities are

importantto yourhappinessand well-being. Asthe child orcaregiver,discuss thelocation,costs, andfeatures ofa new liv-ing ar-rangement.

Know what financialresources you have andwhat can be spent on newliving arrangements. Ifnecessary, talk with afinancial professional tosee just how long yourmoney might last withdifferent scenarios.

Visit a variety of seniorliving options. Visit themformally to get details andinformation. Drop in tovisit informally to seewhat is happening atdifferent times of the dayand evening.

Make a list of qualitiesyou are looking for in aplace to live. This list will

help you compare loca-tions.

Talk with residents. Ifpossible, talk with familymembers of those resi-dents, too. These con-versations can providegreat insight and easestress and fears.

Decide how you willmove your belongings orreduce the amount thathas to be moved. It can befun to give away prizedpossessions to those youknow will appreciatethem while you can stillwitness their joy.

Planning ahead forlater life housing andpossible transitions willgo a long way towarddecreasing the stresswhen the actual movehappens.

It will help not only theone moving but the familymembers, too.
